 Build Your Career With NR Local Trades

NR Local Trades started in Lismore in 2020 with a simple idea: bring roofing, granny flats and tiny homes together under one licensed local team, backed by 30+ years of combined trade and corporate experience. Since then we've grown to a large local trade team across the Northern Rivers, and we're not slowing down. If you're a tradie, apprentice, or trade support professional who wants steady work, real career progression, and a team that actually shows up for each other, we want to hear from you.

Dekton isn't your average benchtop material. It's created through an advanced sintering process that fuses a blend of glass, porcelain and quartz materials under extreme heat and pressure — essentially replicating, and speeding up, the natural process that forms stone. The result is an ultra-compact surface with near-zero porosity, giving you a benchtop that's exceptionally tough and easy to live with.



If you've got a busy kitchen, a young family, or you're simply after something that'll still look brand new in ten years' time, Dekton ticks the boxes. It stands up to scratches, stains and everyday knocks far better than many traditional surfaces, and its heat resistance means you don't need to reach for a trivet every time something comes off the stove.

We're proud of the reputation we've built across Lismore and the wider Northern Rivers, and it shows in what our clients tell us. Time and again, the same themes come up in our reviews: we turn up when we say we will, we explain things clearly before any work starts, and we keep people updated at every stage of the job. Clients regularly mention our roofing and guttering work specifically, from full Colourbond roof replacements to gutter and downpipe upgrades, praising the professionalism, speed and tidiness of our crews.


Several reviews highlight our detailed, obligation-free quotes and the fact that we follow through on them without price surprises. Strata managers, homeowners and even people who are yet to book a job all comment on how approachable and low-pressure our team is. It's this consistency, being reliable, communicative and genuinely helpful, that keeps Northern Rivers locals recommending us to friends, family and neighbours.

Why Work With Us

We built this business on the belief that Northern Rivers communities deserve tradespeople who do things properly, and that starts with how we treat our own crew.


We're genuinely local.

Every job we take on is within Lismore, Ballina, Byron Bay and the wider Northern Rivers region. No long drives to unfamiliar sites, you're working in the community you live in, on projects that matter to your neighbours.


We back you with proper licensing and insurance.

Every trade on our team is fully licensed and insured for the work they do, not stretched across jobs outside their skill set. You'll be doing the work you're qualified for, done properly, every time.


We're still growing.

From roofing and roof plumbing through to granny flats, tiny homes and painting, our business means more variety of work and more opportunity to build a long-term career here, not just a job.


We understand this region.

Flood risk, wet-season scheduling, regional compliance, our crew knows the Northern Rivers inside out, and we back each other up so no one's left carrying a job alone.


We actually show up.

For our clients and for each other. If we say we'll be there, we're there — and that reliability is exactly the culture we're hiring for.
